+ 130 lb chin up. does this count?

[kibslib]

hey what do you guys think of this chin up, would you count it? I stepped on the scale at 156 before and 291 after I added the weight.

[BeyondThePain]

personally i don't count any reps where my chin doesn't clear the bar without my legs helping.

Well i don't see anything wrong with cheating through the last sticking bit.at the least i would count it as a good negative rep. good attempt.

[Jrahe42]

give him some credit...hes got 130 lbs strapped to him. not many ppl would even get as close as he did

[TheHitStick]

i would, your chin cleared it

[SmithMachineGuy]

I don't know if it counts or not, but I'm impressed!

[fmrmarineinbiz]

I'm impressed for your weight. Now work on a non kip version Also, where's the rest of your gym? J/K.

[SquatTilYouDrop]

Good show of strength.

[JZ1986]

I'm impressed with the chin-up and how you piled on that weigth on, pretty damn creative.

[danato138]

Nice job man

[W8isGR8]

lol @ your ghetto ass rigged setup



My chin never clears the bar because I lean back on my chins

[TheNeenz]

Well its a good show of strength, was this just to see how strong you are? id see it being more beneficial if you lowered the weight and were able to get a few more reps. just my .02

[kibslib]

Lol yea I had to get creative because I have a herniated disc so I didn't feel comfortable piling on too much weight on the weight belt. It was expensive buying all that crap especially the leg weights, but it spread the weight out over my entire body.

My goal is to keep going higher and higher with weight, while keeping good form. It'll be a while before I can bump up more weight. First I have to make sure I can clear the bar without using my legs.

I like to put a dumbbell in between my feet rather than strapping weight around my waist. Do you just want to max out or do you do sets of 10ish reps with lower weight? I do 4 sets of 8-10 with a 75 in between my feet that really kicks my ass. Good work!!

Here's what I do: I put on 130 lbs then do 2 - 3 reps of chin ups even though the 2nd and 3rd rep are usually 3/4 the way up. Wait about 60 seconds then reverse my grip and do regular pullups 1 - 2 reps. Wait about another 60 seconds and drop the weight to 95 lbs and do 4-5 chin ups. Wait another 60 seconds and do about 3 more regular pullups. I do this entire series three times.

Go ahead and count it

[DJAuto]

i very impress. i'd count it

[-Lucifer]

Yup, I would count it.

Good job.

[Gzus]

If it was 130lb on you, I'd count it based on the decent weight. But less weight with solid rep (no kick+chin poke), nobody could take anything away from it.

It can't be counted as a +130 lb chinup, because you had to kick through it. Kicking effectively gives you less weight.

[Ape escape]

yo man thats really good next step double bodyweight chinup!
